O.J. LewisSuper Bowl Preview
I don't like to spend too much time on previews, especially Super Bowl previews, mainly because predictions are almost always wrong. I was dead-on in my NFC and AFC predictions, but those games are much easier to tell.
The New Orleans Saints will head down to Miami to face the Indianapolis Colts. Indy has been to four Super Bowls, and have won one. Their most recent victory was just a few years back in 2007. Every time the Colts have played in the Super Bowl, it has been in Miami. The Saints have never been to a Super Bowl in the franchise's history, until now.
Both teams where undefeated through at least thirteen games straight during the regular season. This is the first time since 1994 a Super Bowl has been played with the two number one seeds.
The Colts defense will have to guard the most explosive offense in football. They will have to face this year's top quarterback Drew Brees. Brees threw for 34 touchdowns compared to just eleven picks. He also had a passer rating of 109.9 and completed 70.6 percent of his passes. He threw it to 16 different players, and he also threw for over 4,000 yards. He has a 70 catch, 1,000 yard receiver in Marques Colston. The Colts defense is weakened even more with the injury of Dwight Freeney. Whether he plays or not is a gametime decision.
The Saints and defensive coordinater Gregg Williams have the daunting taks of putting down Peyton Manning. Williams is a strategical guru, but nobody out-gurus Manning in strategy. However, the Saints have three beasts the Colts have nobody close to. Will Smith, Jonathan Vilma, and especially Darren Sharper. Manning has not seen a playmaking all-around weapon like Sharper. Darren has rejuvenated this team, and elevated them to elite stats. Will Smith said that all the team needed was a playmaker like him.
I think the Aints will take this game 31-30. If your going to bet then take the Saints because that 5.5 vegas line is garbage. The Colts may win this, and it is a coin toss between the two. I just feel that emotion carries you far. The Saints and their fans are riding high on emotion.
